With the popularity of hip-hop culture in the world, hip-hop has spread rapidly around the world. Street dance was introduced to Japan when it was formed, and then to South Korea. The Japanese created and developed many new forms of street dance, and paid more attention to dance.

Types of street dance
Based on action, hip-hop can be divided into two categories: hip-hop and break dancing.
Break: Skilled street dance requires dancers to have high strength, flexibility and coordination. It is a highly skilled sports dance, so it was first loved by domestic teenagers. Teenagers who dance this type of dance are called B-Boy/B-Girl.
In 1980s, DJ Kool Herc, known as the "father of hip-hop", created the concept of B-Boy, also known as Breaking Boy. Every year, many countries in the world hold some competitions for B-Boys, the most famous of which are the annual BOTY(B-Boy of The Year) and the B-Boy Championship held in Britain. Hundreds of players from more than 65,438+00 countries will take part in such activities. The winner of the competition will soon become famous and become the star of teenagers.
Hip-Hop: Dance-style hip-hop, which has many styles, such as Poping, Locking, Electric, Turbo, House and so on. They don't need higher skills such as breaking, but they need more coordination and sense of dance, as well as flexibility and control of their limbs. Good hip-hop dancers also need to practice hard. Because street dance is not as skillful and competitive as breaking, it has not been paid enough attention by street dance lovers before.

The evolution of street dance
According to the characteristics of the times, hip-hop can be divided into two categories: old school and new school. The former is a hip-hop style in the 1980s, and the latter is produced in the 1990s, which has undergone considerable changes in music and movements.
old-fashioned
Old-school music has a very fast beat to match the unconventional movements, and then with the evolution of hip-hop music, the rhythm of hip-hop slows down, and the unconventional movements are not suitable. Because if you do a car or a row of legs in this slow hip-hop music, you will feel no explosive force at all, and even lose your sense of dance. At this time, the old-school dance began to separate, around 1986.
The dance steps of the early new school are very simple, such as the familiar "running man", which can be seen in the music videos of MC Hammer and Babby Brown. This hot street dance is also called fashionable dance. But from the present point of view, these hip-hop dances, which were all the rage during the period of MC Hammer and Babby Brown, have gradually become old-fashioned.
Breakthrough (skill):
Breaking the GRIL, abbreviated as BBOY BGRIL, requires strength and balance, as well as physical flexibility. It is a difficult dance, which can be roughly divided into two types: style movement, power movement. Rotating on the ground with hands, head and body is called POWERMOVE (big floor); Landing on all fours, combined with a tricky handstand, is called style MOVE (small floor). It seems that the dance is also mixed with movements similar to China Kung Fu, such as kicking, somersaults, jumping, frog turning, windmill, helicopter, thunderbolt, pommel horse, turning head … and various combinations, which are quite dangerous. Of course, you can also match the movements you want to show when dancing.

Lock (lock dance):
["What happened"] There is a funny cartoon character replayed in the film. He often dances funny dances, and his hands and feet move very fast, but there will be a short pause or lock between movements. Lockin evolved from this cartoon character. Although lockin looks less casual than HIPHOP, less chic than POPPIN and less attractive than BREAKIN, it is a charming dance and the most expressive dance. One of its major features is that it suddenly stops at a certain position after a series of rapid movements, which is interpreted as "lock dance" in Chinese. The music used by Lokkin is funk music, which is composed of many musical instruments, with bass accounting for a large proportion. Later, disco and electronic synthetic music were added, giving people a feeling of joy, jumping and upward.
